N/V Le Cotet, Jacques Lassaigne

Strictly limited to 6 bottles per customer

100% Chardonnay. "One of Champagne's most exciting producers is Emmanuel Lassaigne'' says William Kelley in his Wine Advocate report, noting his "style is powerful and vinous but also racy and electric." He owns just 3.5 hectares of old vine Chardonnay in the unsung village of Montgueux in the Aube. His wines have done much to put this region on the map, and he has achieved a lot in a short space of time. In 2002 he had just two customers. So to go from there to be recognised as one of Champagne's greats is no mean feat. He neither fines or filters, and uses very minimal sulphur dioxide. This comes from 0.6ha of 45 year old vines. It is a blend of 76% 2015, 14% of oak aged 2014 and 10% coming from bottled wines going back to 2002. An oxidative style of Champagne, this is as rare as it is wonderful.
